The Team

Tyler Hunnex - I started/founded/began Let's Go Birds in September of 2007 after feeling like my favorite Junior Hockey team needed more discussion and analysis. I'm statistically minded, forever frustrated by the Tbirds and my all-time favorite player was #10. I think I'm funny and my writing would probably disagree. Follow me on Twitter @TylerHunnex.

Jon Whiting - Jon joined the Let's Go Birds team in the summer of 2013. His passion for the Thunderbirds is as big as any fan I've ever met. His two kids are named after former Tbirds and his favorite all-time players were Patrick Marleau and Olaf "Ole" Kjenstad, who he swears is the best pure scoring Tbird ever.

Jackson's status is in limbo and could change everything. Currently he is not listed on the official roster. Jackson was not offered a contract by the St. Louis Blue this summer and was invited to the Detroit Red Wings camp. If Jackson signs a contract with Detroit, my guess is he will not be back with the team. If he does not sign, he could be headed back to the team. This would create a roster problem (albeit a nice problem when you have a Scott Jackson back) with the Tbirds having 4 players in their 20 year old year. The team could then have until Oct. 11th to decide on which 3 of the 4 players to keep.
